You need to use
AllowCustomText="true"
property to the RadComboBox. This will allow the user to enter custom text into
RadComboBox
. Like:
<telerik:radcombobox id="ddlProposerName" runat="server" xmlns:telerik="#unknown">
EmptyMessage="Select" AllowCustomText="false">
</telerik:radcombobox>
In code, use this:
string s = ddlProposerName.Text;
All the best.
